Listen to poem:
Until the Darkness Returns
Until the Darkness Returns
David J Walker
This is taking forever
Said the wall clock
as if annoyed by time
Stop watching the time clock
The stopwatch shouted ironically
Unable to control itself
Big Ben is the natural God of London
Announcing Himself on the hour
In a cartoon voice
Its Ragtime bragged the rags
covered in discarded motor oil
distinguished by a depth of bad breath
My digital watch cost a fortune
But could do nothing
About time
Wind me up before dawn
Turn me on
Until the darkness returns
